A | Oklahoma's Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond on Friday sued to stop a state board from establishing and funding what would be the nation's first religious public charter school after the board ignored Drummond's warning that it would violate both the state and U.S. constitutions.Drummond filed the lawsuit with the Oklahoma Supreme Court against the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board after three of the board's members this week signed a contract for the St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual Charter School, which is sponsored by the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.“Make no mistake, if the Catholic Church were permitted to have a public virtual charter school, a reckoning will follow in which this state will be faced with the unprecedented quandary of processing requests to directly fund all petitioning sectarian groups,” the lawsuit states.The school board voted 3-2 in June to approve the Catholic Archdiocese's application to establish the online public charter school, which would be open to students across the state in kindergarten through grade 12. In its application, the Archdiocese said its vision is that the school “participates in the evangelizing mission of the Church and is the privileged environment in which Christian education is carried out.”The approval of a publicly funded religious school is the latest in a series of actions taken by conservative-led states that include efforts to teach the Bible in public schools, and to ban books and lessons about race, sexual orientation and gender identity.Oklahoma's Constitution specifically prohibits the use of public money or property from being used, directly or indirectly, for the use or benefit of any church or system of religion. Nearly 60% of Oklahoma voters rejected a proposal in 2016 to remove that language from the Constitution.A message left Friday with Rebecca Wilkinson, the executive director of the Oklahoma Statewide Virtual Charter School Board, was not immediately returned, although Wilkinson has said previously she wouldn't comment on pending litigation.A group of Oklahoma parents, faith leaders and a public education nonprofit already filed a lawsuit in district court in July seeking to stop St. Isidore from operating as a charter school in Oklahoma. That case is pending.Oklahoma's Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who earlier this year signed a bill that would give parents public funds to send their children to private schools, including religious schools, criticized Drummond's lawsuit as a “political stunt.”“AG Drummond seems to lack any firm grasp on the constitutional principle of religious freedom and masks his disdain for the Catholics’ pursuit by obsessing over non-existent schools that don’t neatly align with his religious preference," Stitt said in a statement.Drummond defeated Stitt's hand-picked attorney general in last year's GOP primary and the two Republicans have clashed over Stitt's hostile position toward many Native American tribes in the state.The AG's lawsuit also suggests that the board's vote could put at risk more than $1 billion in federal education dollars that Oklahoma receives that require the state to comply with federal laws that prohibit a publicly funded religious school.“Not only is this an irreparable violation of our individual religious liberty, but it is an unthinkable waste of our tax dollars,” Drummond said in a statement.The National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, a nonprofit organization that supports the public charter school movement, released a statement Friday in support of Drummond's challenge.。
B | 2026年8月23日，由玩家组织"Does it play?"发起的"PSBlackout"抵制行动于当地时间晚7点在全球同步启动。该行动旨在向索尼施压，抗议其全面数字化战略及逐步放弃实体光盘的计划。参与抵制的玩家被号召在一周内停止一切PlayStation主机活动，包括取消PS Plus订阅、不在PS Store进行任何消费。然而，索尼对此似乎并不担忧。就在抵制启动前后，索尼向PS Network用户群发了一封电子邮件，"善意提醒"玩家回顾注册账号时同意的各项条款，包括PlayStation行为准则、服务条款、隐私政策以及最终用户许可协议。邮件中特别引用了用户协议中关于数字内容所有权的核心条款："软件仅获得授权许可，而非出售。用户获得的是有限、非独占、不可转让且仅供个人使用的许可……用户不得出租、租赁或再许可软件。" 这封邮件被大量玩家解读为索尼的嘲讽——言下之意是"你们当初自己点了同意，现在闹什么闹"。邮件还明确告知用户：若账号被关闭，将无法恢复此前购买的游戏；索尼有权存储聊天记录、录制的视频片段及IP地址信息；且索尼对用户的赔偿责任上限仅为100英镑。业内分析人士指出，为期一周的抵制对索尼的实际影响可能微乎其微。据估算，参与此次"Does it play?"抵制的用户仅占PS Network总用户数的约0.01%。更有评论认为，如果抵制结束后玩家第二天就重新打开钱包在PS Store消费，那么这场抗议将毫无意义。索尼显然也深谙此道，其冷静甚至略带挑衅的回应表明，这家主机巨头对少数硬核实体游戏拥护者的反弹早有准备。此次风波也再次将"数字版游戏所有权"这一长期争议推向台前。随着索尼确认2028年起全面停产PS5实体光盘，越来越多的玩家开始意识到，他们在PS Store中"购买"的上百款游戏，本质上只是从索尼手中租赁了一张随时可能失效的许可证。 本文由游民星空制作发布，未经允许禁止转载。
